MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Bugeye forward tilt hinges

About 8 years ago Mitch Preston was doing a run of forward tilt hinges. I was lucky enough to get on the list for a set. I recall that there were instructions and some, to be fabricated, components. You guessed it, I have misplaced the instructions. So, if Mitch is listening or anyone knows Mitch or anyone has a copy of his instructions, I would appreciate some help dredging up the installation instructions.

Ok, maybe this photo will help. This is a very common hinge arrangement but I do not have the instructions or any of the discussion of spacers, locating new holes, bolt size etc. to make installation smooth. These components were cut on a CNC machine out of what appears to be aircraft aluminum. So if anyone could provide instructions, I would be most appreciative. After 8 years, I am ready to make it happen

Guy,
I have seen what you sent and I suppose I could ask Gerard for his instructions but was feeling a bit cheesy about that since I procured this stuff elsewhere. What I really do need are the written installation instructions
BEW Brett Wright

Yes Brett, l realised it was written instructions you were after but as no-one else was responding l thought that at the least the photos might help.
And, yes, it's a bit cheeky asking Gerards Garage for a copy of the instruction, but what's the worst that can happen? !!
